Giveaway: Supergirl



About the Book:
Welcome to Midvale, home to Liberty High School and an unusual girl names Kara Danvers. While it may seem like your ordinary town, girls like Kara make it extraordinary. She's super-strong, she can fly, and she crash-landed on Earth in a rocket ship. But for Kara Danvers, winning the next track meet, celebrating her 16th birthday, and surviving her latest mega-zit are her top concerns. Now Kara's incredible powers are kicking into high gear and people she trusted are revealing creepy motives. The time has come for her to choose between the world where she was born and the only world she's every known.

Mini Review: Garfield Sings for his Supper

Free Comic Book Day is tomorrow. So here's my mini review of the comic book series that I consistently read. My husband's a huge Garfield fan. I bring home the new books and we read them together.

The Good: Garfield's always funny - talking about sleep, food, TV, Jon's boring life, and picking on Odie. Several made me chuckle. You can't go wrong with the Garfield comics; they're really popular at my library. He's funny and timeless.

The  Bad: There's nothing really bad when it comes to Garfield. In this book, there were no Christmas comics, which disappointed me.
